By combining the academic challenge and rigor of Advanced Placement® with WE’s education and citizenship model, AP with WE Service creates an opportunity for students to consider their classroom work and how it applies to the real world, while working closely with their peers to address social issues.

Students who participate in service learning within the WE framework apply their academic learning to real-life settings and situations by being active in meaningful community-based service. In addition, they work on problems that make academic learning relevant while enhancing their leadership and social skills, analytic ability, and civic responsibility.

By incorporating hands-on service-learning projects into AP courses, AP with WE Service empowers students to become leaders and agents of change.

The greatest benefit of incorporating AP with WE Service in my classroom has been the leadership skills my students have gained."—Dorsey Sammataro, AP Studio Art: 2D Design Teacher, Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School​, Atlanta, GA
